Chesterbrook Academy® Students Hold Earth Day Ladybug Release
Students celebrated Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing more than 15,000 beneficial bugs into their schoolyard
On April 21, students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Denver bugged out in celebration of Earth Day as they released more than 15,000 ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students were dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing red and black clothing.
Leading up to Earth Day, students learned that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. Chesterbrook Academy teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
